GARS: vb.org installer/release add on

hehe. Its back (and improved).

Find yourself hanging around vb.org all day in the release sections simply because you find them so sexy? Wish you could apply that same look with those same tick boxes to your forums? Hold on to your hats because now you can.

With this add on for GARS PRO and GARS LITE, you can create a new type to apply to your forums: the Installs/Release type. With this new fangled functionality you get:

• Those neat tick boxes
• Last update, release date, vb version, mod version, etc...
• Install counter
• Install/uninstall buttons (that work!)
• Install counts on forumdisplay (heck, it even lets you know if you have installed it!)
• The ability for the author to see if someone replying to the thread has installed.
• Release manager that lets you view all users that have installed your release

What you don't get:

• A send update function. If there is a screaming need, ill do it when I get time.
• A list of all your installed stuff on your profile. I may do that if there is a screaming need to.
• The annoying thing at .org where you have to re-edit your post to put in the version number and such

But wait, theres more! Since this is a GARS module set, you get much much more:

• Multiple pages
• GARS modules (i.e. reviews, TOC's, ratings, blahblahblah)

This package is a bit more than just 1 file. It includes a new table, 3 new files and some additional templates. It also includes a product installer that will install these items as well as create a new term set, new type, new template set, register the modules and basically clean your curtains.

I would suggest adding the Table of contents module to the module set (showthread page) if you use it. It makes browsing through multiple pages much easier

Nope, but I doubt that would be difficult to do. Good idea.

Thanks for the phrases Allan. Are you saying nothing shows?

The GARS phrases show up fine, the Install-Type phrases don't, all blank spaces where text is supposed to be.

Any idea?

[edit]
never mind, I opened and re-saved one of the phrases in the phrase manager and suddenly they appeared.

Now checking out if and how this could be used on my forum

Do you have GARS PRO or GARS LITE installed? One of those guys need to be installed BEFORE you install this.

Not really as an addition to this. That would be a large project in and of itself

[Allan]
